People from the North East and North Yorkshire have been describing the horrific gun attack they witnessed in Tunisia today.
Schoolchildren in Whickham, Tyneside, have taken part in a minute's silence to honour the victims of the Tunisia beach massacre.
A minute's silence was held across the country at midday today, one week on from the gun attack in Sousse which left thirty Britons dead.
The event had particular significance for Whickham. One of the victims was grandmother Lisa Burbridge, who was from Whickham.
"I would personally like to thank the local community for their amazing donations of food, toiletries and clothing. "
Owners John and Irene Hays say there is ''light at the end of the tunnel'', after the pandemic forced them to close 650 UK stores.
There has been resistance to calls to dismantle memorials to the explorer.
